Trying to start a 2006 Volvo D12 that has been sitting for 6 weeks in colder temps (east coast Canada), I did put some antigel in it before it sat.
The truck worked perfect when I parked it.
Yesterday I went to start it, it started rough, white smoke poured out for a few minutes when warming up, it got to about 40 degrees and then the pure black smoke started pouring out of it and sounded like it was running on one cyl.
I went and got some diesel 911 and still the same, air temps are about 32-34 degrees now. I also reprimed it and I can hear the fuel go through the primer (it pumps 2 or so times, then clicks up by the head)
Fuel tanks are nice and clear when looked in.. No Algae or Foggy.
I did put a heatgun on the filter for a few minutes, but no difference..
Any other suggestions on getting her running? Does this look gelled up or perhaps something else wrong? NO CODES.
EGR Delete done a few years ago with the otrperformance kit, Unhooked batteries, pulled ecm fuse to make sure nothing was wrong with a bad start. Pulled intake tubes and turbo free spins by hand. Started with tubes off and was the same so not starving for air. EPG was blocked off about 2 years ago when something similar happened (airline at the back of it capped off, thanks to a thread by Pablo-UA)
Thanks!

try to remove top charge air cooler hose. and run
peifamily Thanks this. -
Thanks, I will give that a try first. It looks like an easier test then pulling the exhaust off by the EPG to check for blocks and to test with no pipe.

Pipes all looked good. Ended up pulling EGRS, all were closed. The EPV by the exhaust was stuck 1/2 closed. Also saw the EPV piston was all rattley inside there.. Next week taking her in to get that pulled off so I can get it rebuilt with a new piston/spring. Took about 20 minutes of black smoke/white/black before it started firing fine.. I think a few injectors were sticking.. Sounds fine now.. Thanks for your help.

that happens a lot i had a few d 12 that would start like #### in the winter let them run for 15 min all good. probably some injectors leaking a little bit like u said. i would suggest to run some engine oil mixed with fuel in the tank not much maybe a gallon for a full tank it cleans injectors up very well.

Perfect! I will give that a try. I sure appreciate your help on this!.
Thanks again,
Jason
